How Prisma and Express fit together

Prisma is a next-generation ORM that's used to query your database in an Express server. You can use it as an alternative to writing plain SQL queries, to using query builders like knex.js or to traditional ORMs like TypeORM, MikroORM and Sequelize.

While Prisma works great with Express, you can use it with any other web framework like koa.js, Fastify or FeathersJS as well. Prisma can be used to build REST and GraphQL APIs and integrates smoothly with both microservices and monolothic architectures.
